At STRIDE we believe strongly that
our clients benefit tremendously from participating in
therapeutic riding activities. Because we see the huge strides
toward greater independence that our clients make each summer
during our eight-week program, we feel that the time has come to
grow STRIDE into a year round program. And to do that
successfully, we need your help! We desperately need more funding and community support in order to expand our program. We currently serve just twenty clients each summer, and every summer our waiting list grows longer. Our ultimate goal is to serve up to 200 clients year round. If you would like to contribute funds to help us achieve our goal, you can make contributions to STRIDE using a credit card by clicking on the Network for Good logo on any page. Or if you prefer to send a check, please print and complete our Donor Information Form and mail it along with your contribution. Here are just some of the other ways that you can help STRIDE offer therapeutic riding services to disabled members of our community year round:
Please review our Volunteer page to learn more about available volunteer opportunities. If you don't have time to volunteer, but still want to help STRIDE, please see our Wish List for our current needs. |
Well-Being
Riding a horse poses a significant challenge to any individual in that it requires a tremendous degree of integration and balance of the mind, body, and spirit.
For this reason, equitation is often regarded as more of an art form than a sport.
Riders of every age and
level of ability often speak of the heightened sense of well-being they
achieve through riding. We see it in the faces of our clients every
day!
